    Exceptional neighborhood Bistro. Our 3rd visit. Incredible, fair priced wine list. We had steelhead and scallops, oh my goodness. The waiter perfectly paired wines with each individuals entrée after most lovely cocktails. Great Mezcal Negroni!

    We’ve always like this place. We tend to go early though - might be a better experience because of this.

    Excellent throughout from greeting to service and all the flavors of the 5 appetizers, 4 entrees and 2 sides including the Robuchon potatoes. The tomahawk ribeye was perfectly seasoned and cooked along with the side of turnips. Octopus, 2yr parma ham, steelhead, scallops were outstanding. 3 desserts were outstanding as well.

    Do not sleep on this wonderful Seattle restaurant. This prefectly sized restaurant serves some of the best food I have had with service that is friendly, professional, and on point. The Foie Gras is on my mind for days after my meal every time and there is always a wonderful entree list to choose from. This visit, the lamb loin was spectacular. A very quick ride from downtown, this is my must visit whenever I am here.

    Great service. A bit overpriced, but understand times are challenging to stay competitive.

    This was our first time here, but it won’t be our last. Relaxing atmosphere and great food. The white anchovies and fois gras were especially delicious. We also really enjoyed the butternut squash risotto. They warned us that it would be a 35 minute wait because they make the risotto to order. Well worth the wait.
